Hey, I’m a programmer. I almost forgot.

In a meeting with my boss yesterday, we revised some of my priorities here from languishing away hacking at improving some old Filemaker solutions, to updating our website for full blown eCommerce functionality. Which means I get to write code again. In a real language. Using [...]

TiVO

bbum just made me want a TiVo even more than I already did. Luckily, I’m in a rare male situation where I think my wife will want the technology gadget even more than I do.

I’ve been doing most of my site editing on Windows for a while mostly because of TopStyle, an awesome CSS-HTML editor. I’d like to get back on a [...]

Shirky’s address on social software

Well, I just killed 20 minutes I didn’t have to kill reading Clay Shirky’s speech A Group is its Own Worst Enemy….and I’m glad I did. If you participate in Internet-based groups, or write software for them, it’s a must read. Quote:

Groups are a run-time effect. You cannot specify in advance what [...]

Home network

I’m going this afternoon to meet with our builder’s sub that handles all the low-voltage wiring. Should be interesting…I have a pretty good idea of what I need as far as speaker, phone, network wires, but I’m sure they’ll try to convince me I need much more than I think I need.
I’ll probably be [...]
